Attachment Therapy

Attachment therapy refers to a controversial and varied set of therapeutic practices aimed at addressing issues related to attachment disorders. Attachment disorders typically stem from early childhood experiences, such as neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving, which can disrupt the ability to form secure emotional bonds. While the term "attachment therapy" has been used broadly, it is often associated with practices aimed at promoting secure attachment between children and their caregivers.

Purpose of Attachment Therapy

The primary goal of attachment therapy is to help individuals—especially children—develop healthier attachment patterns. This involves addressing difficulties such as:

• Difficulty trusting others

• Poor emotional regulation

• Problems forming and maintaining relationships

• Aggression or withdrawal in social situations

Sometimes the roots of attachment difficulties lie deep in early experiences—perhaps feelings of abandonment, parental neglect, or other forms of childhood trauma. At The Soke London centre, we believe in offering more than just support—we offer a safe space where people can begin to heal from the past. Through private therapy, clients are gently guided to understand how these early wounds still influence their relationships, their sense of self, and their capacity to trust. You do not have to face these shadows alone; through private attachment therapy, we offer expertise to help you rebuild secure connections and recover your inner strength.

The Soke provides support and training for individuals & families, as well as for schools & organisations. Please contact our Client Services team to discuss your needs so that they can guide you towards the most appropriate solution to suit your particular circumstances.
